Clan Drummond

Gang Warily

The Drummonds take their name from the parish of Drymen, in what is now the western district of Stirlingshire; about 1360 the family's residence moved to Stobhall in Perthshire, which had come to them through marriage. Sir John Drummond of Cargill and Stobhall was created Lord Drummond on 29 January 1487-8, and James, 4th Lord Drummond, was created Earl of Perth on 4 March 1605. Jacobite loyalty cost the family its estates, and the earldom was only restored by Act of Parliament in 1853. The chief is the Earl of Perth; the title passed to James David Drummond in March 2023.

Crest & Motto

Clan Drummond Crest Badge & Motto

The motto of Clan Drummond is Gang Warily. It appears on the Clan Drummond crest badge: the chief’s heraldic crest set inside a strap and buckle that carries the motto.

In Scotland a crest belongs to the chief, not to everyone with the surname. Clan members may wear the crest badge, with the crest inside the strap and buckle, to show that they belong to the clan. The plain crest without the strap remains the chief’s own.
